I haven't made a system for many years.

In a blink of an eye, it was June, and after half a year, Meng Qing's "Mountain View Villa" was nearly completed.

Meng Qing rode a fast horse from Qinghe Town to Zhengjiazhuang. Under the scorching sun, the galloping horse's hooves crushed dry and cracked mud one after another, raising a cloud of dust.

"Fuck, it's too hot today!"

Meng Qing was steaming all over his body, and the sweat just dripped down, and it would be evaporated soon.Meng Qing swung his horsewhip vigorously. After being in the sun for a long time, he almost fainted from the sun. The excitement when he came here also evaporated with sweat and turned into full of anger.

Meng Qing looked at the side of the road with his head drooping, and his heart sank slightly. The snow cover was heavy last year, and the melted snow in the beginning of spring caused a lot of flooding.Now that the weather is so hot, it is impossible to say that it will become violent, and it will be the common people who will suffer.

Although Meng Qing only hoped that this was his own imagination, he did not rule out this possibility, so it is better to prepare early, so that he will not panic when the time comes.

Just as he was thinking about it, he arrived at Zhengjiazhuang. Meng Qing rode his horse directly up the hill from the path. When he arrived, there were already several circles of people around the house.

I don't know who discovered him first, and howled "Meng Qing is here", causing everyone to look at him.

Meng Qing was sitting on the horse, with dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him, Meng Qing grinned, a little embarrassed.

It was Aunt Chunhua who broke the situation.She rushed over and said with a smile, "Meng Qing is here? Come and see if this house suits you, and you are satisfied."

Meng Qing dismounted and followed Aunt Chunhua, and the eyes of the melon-eating crowd followed him closely, and he did not appear to be in a situation where the demons and ghosts retreated one after another when the protagonist came.

Surrounded by people, Meng Qing kept his face straight and expressionless, hoping that his indifference would scare everyone away.However, the people's enthusiasm for gossip is beyond his imagination!

"It turns out that he is Meng Qing, isn't it that he looks scary?"

"You said he was alone, and he didn't live here, so why did he build such a big house."

"I heard that he is not married yet, and my natal family has a niece who is not engaged either."

"Bah, you old bastard, you have a good idea, and you don't want to think about whether people will think badly about your niece."

Meng Qing still listened with a blank expression, but couldn't help but start a crazy complaint mode in his heart.

Don't look at me like that, Mom, I'm not a monkey.Also, didn't your elders tell you not to gossip about people in front of the parties when you were young?Ma'am, please don't introduce me to a girlfriend, okay?People already have old attacks.

Aunt Chunhua pointed to the big house in front of her and said, "Do you think it will be completed like this?"

As soon as Meng Qing looked up, he saw a huge red-painted door, and the two big characters "Meng's Mansion" were written in golden pen on the pitch-black plaque.There are two big stone lions sitting at the door, and the earth trench wind is blowing in your face.

Meng Qing smiled, "Okay, with momentum."This kind of house is in line with his status as a nouveau riche!It's just that in the wilderness, this house has a style of Liaozhai.

Meng Qing wandered around and was still very satisfied.He bought a relatively large land at the beginning, and the house was basically built according to his requirements at that time.The part near the bamboo house in the middle is made into a normal house, and the rest is directly made into a warehouse.It seems to be working fine now.

As long as a fence is built around the house, traps are set, and the secret passage is dug through, the house can be used.

Meng Qing looked at a crowd of sweating workers and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you these days. The house is well built, and I'm very satisfied. How about it? Later, each of you will go to Uncle Zheng to get fifty Wen as a reward." extra hard work.

What's more, this house is used for business, and I have to trouble you to build the fence. Uncle Zheng will tell you the specific method.Just double the wages! "

Those workers stared wide-eyed in surprise. Although it was hot this year, the harvest this year was not good, and the family's income could all be counted on this wage.So there is no wage increase.They are also willing to do it.

Everyone was laughing when they heard someone shouting from afar, "Happy event, great event!"

Everyone was puzzled, when a dark and honest young man ran up to them, panting heavily, and said incoherently for a year, "Happy event, big, big happy event, Meng Qing, you, the ranking is released, Zhengxuanfu test No .1, won the scholar!"

After the words fell, Zhou Guo was silent, and then a huge shout broke out.

"Is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true, I saw it with my own eyes, so it's still false!"

"I didn't expect Zheng Xuan to be so promising!"

"No, but his father was also a scholar, so it's nothing unusual."

"Hmph, his father didn't take the No. 1 exam back then. Besides, how old is Zheng Xuan this year? The future is amazing. Maybe our Zhengjiazhuang will produce a master."

"Who says no?"

After hearing this, Aunt Chunhua smiled and said, "Congratulations, Meng Qing, double happiness, you must be lucky this year!"

Meng Qing smiled calmly, hmph, talented and talented, and you are so surprised, he is always the one who wants to be the number one!

Meng Qing cupped his hands again and again, "Tongxi, Tongxi, Aunt Chunhua, please make arrangements, pick a good day, arrange a few tables in the village, and let's celebrate."

Aunt Chunhua quickly responded with a smile, "Okay, you can rest assured to leave this matter to me! I promise to handle it properly for you"!

Meng Qing nodded, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Uncle Zheng and said, "You can repair this wall according to the drawing on this paper, the cost should be enough", the last time he gave more money.

Uncle Zheng quickly said, "That's enough, there are 300 taels left from last time, these silvers are enough."

While they were talking, an elderly man in the village said with emotion

"Ah, a year ago, this Zheng Xuan was still a fatherless man, and Meng Qing was still a poor hunter. But now, one of them has been selected as a scholar, he will be an official in the future, and the other is buying a house in the town. Do big business. So when it comes to luck, who can say for sure?"

At this time, someone suddenly said, "Oh, Zheng Xuan has been selected as a scholar, and your family has no land. Meng Qing, these are all from the folks in the village. Can you accommodate me?"

When this man finished speaking, there was a echoing voice from around, "Yes, you are all doing great things, and you don't expect this little money. Besides, this year, God will not reward you. If you pay taxes, many people in the village will starve to death!"

After listening to it for a while, Meng Qing realized that there seemed to be a policy that people with fame can reduce the tax on the land under their name.

Of course he is willing to do a good deed, it is all from the folks in the village.But he just couldn't understand their natural expressions.

Meng Qing made a pause gesture, and waited for the people around to calm down before saying, "Since there is such a policy, it should not be wasted. Naturally, Zheng Xuan and I are also willing to help the folks in the village.

How about this, Aunt Chunhua, I'll leave this matter to you, see if those people in the village are in need, count their names, and I'll do it again, as a reward, the land of Aunt Chunhua's family will be the priority. "

Aunt Chunhua was overjoyed. Her family has many places and many places. In this way, she can save a lot of food every year!

"Okay, you can rest assured to leave this matter to your aunt!"

Meng Qing nodded. He also believed in Aunt Chunhua's character and believed that she would distribute limited resources to those in need.

Meng Qing doesn't know yet, because of one of his decisions, the status of Aunt Chunhua's family in the village has suddenly risen, and even several nearby villages know that Li Chunhua's family in Zhengjiazhuang has a close relationship with the official's family, when Meng Qing and Zheng Xuan After the status rises, even more!

A group of women looked at Li Chunhua with envy and jealousy, and some even said in a sly way, "The one who is taking the test for fame is Zheng Xuan. If it comes to closeness, I'm afraid my aunt is closer! You can make a decision directly on this matter, I'm afraid Not so good".

Meng Qing raised his eyebrows, the person who spoke was Zheng Xuan's second aunt, her home was very close to Zheng Xuan's.When Zheng Xuan was tortured by the Zheng Zhao family, she ignored him, but now she remembered that Zheng Xuan was his nephew?

"Zheng Xuan is my younger brother, I can make a decision on this matter!" Zheng Xuan didn't want to argue with her, so he had to hurry back and share the news with his family Zheng Xuan.

"Okay, I still have something to do, I'll leave this to Aunt Chunhua."Meng Qing really didn't want to talk about it, the more he talked about it, the more confused he was, why bother?

After the confession, Meng Qing rode his horse and galloped back towards the sun. He originally planned not to go back today, but just happened to go to Lingshan to have a look and inspect it.

As soon as Meng Qing got off his horse, he saw his family Zheng Xuan escorting a man in a big red shirt out.

The eyes of the two of them lit up when they saw Meng Qing, and the man in the red shirt cupped his hands and congratulated, "Congratulations, Boss Meng, your brother won No. 1"!

Meng Qing subconsciously looked at Zheng Xuan, who turned his head in embarrassment.Meng Qing took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom and handed it to the messenger, who gave thanks with a wink and left.

The two stood at the door, not knowing what to say for a while.

Zheng Xuan turned his head to look at him, seeing that Meng Qing's face was flushed from the sun, and his whole body was drenched with sweat, his face sank immediately.

"Why is it so sun-dried! It's very sunny outside, don't you know how to hide for a while and come back?"

When Meng Qing heard this, he was not happy. What on earth was he doing like this!

"Didn't you rush back from Zhengjiazhuang specially when you heard that you passed the examination of scholar?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xuan pursed his lips and said, "It's just a scholar, what's there to be happy about"!

Meng Qing also moved his head away, "Huh, there's nothing to be happy about, the ghost knows why I ran back in such a hurry."

After the words fell, the faces of the two of them could no longer be tense, and the corners of their mouths were raised at the same time, and they could no longer press into a straight line.

"Cough," Meng Qing coughed lightly, covering up the sound of laughing, and raised her head slightly, "Well, the sun is too big, let's go into the room and talk!"

Hearing the sun, Zheng Xuan came to his senses again, took Meng Qing's arm and walked into the house, complaining as he walked, "I know the sun is big, but I don't know how to bring a bamboo hat to cover it, my face is sunburned"!

Meng Qing smiled, "Aren't I afraid of trouble?"

Zheng Xuan glared at him, pulled him into the room, quickly took out the medicine, and rubbed it on his face.

Although Meng Qing didn't think it was necessary, he still cared about his own face, so he let him mess with it.

The cold ointment is very comfortable to apply on the face, "Congratulations, you got the first place in the exam"!

Zheng Xuan paused for applying the medicine and said "Thank you" softly.

Zheng Xuan really thanked Meng Qing. If he hadn't brought him out of that home, hadn't let him go to the academy, and hadn't supported him to study, this wouldn't be the case today.

Meng Qing knew what he was referring to, and said angrily, "Look, this is out of the ordinary, isn't it?"

Zheng Xuan just shook his head and didn't speak.Concentrate on applying medicine to Meng Qing's face, but only he knows the turbulent emotions in his heart.

"Then, do you have any other plans?"

"I want to continue the exam."

"That's natural, you are so talented."

"Well, but Qingfeng Academy has some limitations, I want to go to the big academy in Chenzhou Prefecture to study and study."

After thinking about it, Meng Qing also felt that it was the same reason. If he was promoted from junior high school to senior high school, he had to change schools.

"It's natural. Our family also has industrial power in Chenzhou. I'll say hello and let them take care of you when the time comes."

Zheng Xuan stopped, stared at him and said, "Then why don't you go?"

Meng Qing shook his head, "I can't go yet. Although Qinghe Town is not as developed as Chenzhou Mansion, I still have a lot of things to do here. However, I can visit you from time to time. When do you plan to go to Chenzhou House?"

Zheng Xuan pursed his lips and said, "Let's go in a few days. By the way, many of my classmates have passed the exam. We have agreed to go to Zuixianlou to celebrate!"

"Well, okay, when the time comes, you can invite your classmates and friends to dinner, and I will ask the shopkeeper to give you a free order. Oh, and, there will also be a banquet at Zhengjiazhuang, but Aunt Chunhua will be in charge, and we can just go there when the time comes. Yes, the villagers want to put the land in your name to reduce taxes, I will leave it to Aunt Chunhua, you should have no objection!"

As he said that, Zheng Xuan suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute, I have something for you."

Before Zheng Xuan could close the medicine in his hand, the man rushed over. "Slow down, what are you doing in such a hurry".

Meng Qing shook his head, handed him some yellowed papers in his hand and said, "This is for you".

Zheng Xuan took it, unfolded it, and found that it was the land deed and the title deed.

Meng Qing thought to himself, "I said when I took you away, what belongs to you, one day, I will help you get it back. So I found the gambling house and redeemed the things.

It's not worth a lot of money at all, and the things haven't flowed out, otherwise it will be troublesome.But Zheng Dazhuang did not know where he followed Zheng Houzi!"

Zheng Xuan's fingers pinching the land deed gradually turned white. He didn't hear a word of what Zheng Xuan was saying.He only looked up at Meng Qing in a daze, and suddenly felt as if someone had grabbed the tip of his heart, itching and sore.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, his nasal cavity was sour, and his eyes suddenly became hot. He never knew that some things that you take to heart and never tell others, are also taken to heart by others, and silently achieve it for you.

He knew that at this moment, something was different!

Meng Qing was very surprised to see him like this. Zheng Xuan has become more and more as if he has not lost his memory these days, and it is a bit strange to see this expression suddenly.

Meng Qing leaned over, tilted his head, looked at him with wide eyes, and smiled ruffianically, "Why, I was moved!" Then he raised his eyebrows.

Looking at the stupid face in front of him, Zheng Xuan suppressed the tears that were about to come out.

Then he turned his head, and burst out laughing, the white ointment on Meng Qing's face hadn't completely melted, and now he was making such a strange expression, it was simply horrible.

Meng Qing didn't understand, so he also laughed, and his expression became even more stupid.
